Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 190 degrees Celsius (375 Fahrenheit).
  2. Using a sharp knife, carefully cut a horizontal pocket into the thickest part of the chicken breast without cutting all the way through.
  3. In a small bowl, mix softened cream cheese, minced garlic clove, lemon zest, lemon juice, and chopped fresh parsley until well combined.
  4. Season the chicken breast inside and out with salt and ground black pepper.
  5. Stuff the cream cheese mixture into the pocket of the chicken breast, pressing gently to fill it fully.
  6. Heat extra virgin olive oil in an oven-safe skillet over medium heat.
  7. Place the stuffed chicken breast in the skillet and sear for 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown.
  8. Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes until the chicken is cooked through and juices run clear.
  9. Remove from oven and let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before slicing and serving.

Tips

  • Use a sharp knife to make the pocket to avoid cutting through the chicken.
